We have no formal funding so depend on public and local business donations, benefactors and grants, where possible. Fundraising takes precious time from serving our vulnerable friends so financial donations help make us more efficient.
Please donate by clicking our JustGiving link here. It is also on our Facebook, X and Instagram: @HopingYork
If you prefer, please contact Chair of Trustees, Helen Meadows on hopingyorkstk@gmail.com
We have around 50 volunteers who between them cook, serve and organise the kitchen. From time to time we recruit volunteers so if any role interests you, please check when the next recruitment drive is due. By nature our volunteers are generous and compassionate so we’re a fun, supportive team.

We have a growing list of businesses and organisations who support us with ad hoc donations, fundraise for us, provide discounted equipment or provide general help longer term. We welcome anything your business can offer. Please see Who Has Helped Us? for ideas and Publicity Links for details.
Individuals and groups are impressively creative with fundraising for us. Any help is welcome so please approach us to discuss your ideas, whether it’s a sponsored swim or expedition to the north pole! You may be a choir with your performance takings to share or a knitter of toys with your sales funds to donate or you may have a quick whip round at the office. Whatever you are able to offer, we will turn into meals and warm scarves and toiletries to give comfort.
